BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Materials which can provide amber, woody, camphoraceous, floral,orris-like and fruity aroma profiles with patchouli-like topnotesparticularly those materials which are relatively inexpensive are highlysought after in the art of perfumery. Many of the natural materialswhich provide such fragrance profiles and contribute desired nuances toperfumery compositions and perfumed article substances are high in cost,vary in quality from one batch to another and/or are generally subjectto the usual variations of natural products.

There is, accordingly, a continuing effort to find synthetic materialswhich will replace the essential fragrance notes provided by naturalessential oils or compositions thereof. Unfortunately, many of thesesynthetic materials either have the desired nuances only to a relativelysmall degree or else contribute undesirable or unwanted odor to thecomposition. The search for materials which can provide a more refinedamber, woody, camphoraceous, orris-like, fruity and patchouli-like aromahave been difficult and relatively costly in the areas of both naturalproducts and synthetic products.

In addition, artificial flavoring agents for foodstuffs have receivedincreasing attention in recent years. In many years, such food flavoringagents have been preferred over natural flavoring agents at least inpart due to their diminished cost and their reproducible flavorqualities. For example, natural food flavoring agents such as extracts,concentrates and the like are often subject to wide variations due tochanges in the quality, type and treatment of the raw materials. Suchvariations can be reflected in the end product and result in unfavorableflavor characteristics in said end product. Additionally, the presenceof the natural product in the ultimate food may be undesirable becauseof increased tendency to spoil. This is particularly troublesome in foodand food uses where such products as dips, soups, chips, sausages,gravies and the like are apt to be stored prior to use.

The fundamental problem in creating artificial flavor agents is that theartificial flavor to be achieved be as natural as possible. Thisgenerally proves to be a difficult task since the mechanism for flavordevelopment in many foods is not completely known. This is noticeable inproducts having nutty, earthy, woody-balsamic, fresh walnut kernel andwalnut skin flavor characteristics.

Reproduction of nutty, earthy, woody-balsamic, fresh walnut kernel andwalnut skin flavor and aroma has been the subject of long and continuingsearches by those engaged in production of foodstuffs and beverages. Thesevere shortage of food in many parts of the world has given rise to thedevelopment of previously unused sources of protein which areunpalatable. Accordingly, the need has arisen for the use of flavoringmaterials which will make such sources of protein palatable to humansensory organs.

Even more desirable is a product that can serve to substitute fordifficult-to-obtain natural perfumery oils and at the same timesubstitute for natural flavoring ingredients in both foodstuffs as wellas in tobacco.

Perfumery materials which are inexpensive such as dihydro linalool(3,7-Dimethyl-6-octen-3-ol), and dihydro myrcenol(3-Methylene-7-methyloctanol-7) do not provide the patchouli-likeorris-like fragrance profiles that are provided by the more expensive,more complex molecules such as patchouli alcohol having the structure:##STR2## Dihydro linalool according to "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals(Aroma Chemicals)" by Steffen Arctander (1969) having the structure:##STR3## at Monograph 960 is indicated to have a fresh, floral, citrusyaroma which is less woody than linalool and more powerful and morelime-like than tetrahydro linalool. On the other hand, dihydro myrcenolhaving the structure: ##STR4## (at number 964 of Arctander) is describedas being powerful, fresh lime-like overall citrusy, floral and sweetwith little or no terpenic undertones. Dihydro myrcenyl acetatedescribed at Monograph 965 of Arctander having the structure: ##STR5##is described as sweet, spicy, herbaceous, fresh and somewhat fruity witha bergamot-lime character but poor tenacity.

No chemicals described in a prior art such as dihydro myrcenyl acetate,dihydro myrcenol or dihydro linalool have aroma profiles or chemicalstructures even remotely similar to the compounds of our invention.

This organometallic intermediate may be isolated orretained in situ in the reaction medium and then hydrolized to form thealcohols of our invention defined according to the structures: ##STR50##These alcohols may then be reacted with P₂ S₅ to form the thiols of ourinvention according to the reaction: ##STR51## and these thiols mayeither be used as is or may optionally be reacted with R₃ 'Y or R₃ 'SR₃' to form the thio ethers or thio esters of our invention according tothe reaction sequence: ##STR52## wherein R₃ ' represents C₁ -C₃ loweralkyl or C₁ -C₃ acyl. Optionally, the alcohols of our invention havingthe structure: ##STR53## may be reacted with R₃ 'Y or R₃ 'OR₃ ' to formthe esters or ethers of our invention and the reaction forming thealcohols, esters and ethers of our invention is illustrated by thereaction: ##STR54## The foregoing reaction also shows the formation ofthe organometallic compounds contemplated by our invention. In theforegoing reaction sequences R₃ ' represents C₁ -C₃ alkyl or acyl and Yrepresents chloro, bromo or iodo.

The reaction temperature for reacting the alkyl lithium derivative orthe Grignard reagent with the ketone having the structure: ##STR55## mayvary from 25° C. up to 50° C. The reaction is carried out in an inertsolvent such as tetrahydrofuran or diethylether and may be carried outat atmospheric pressure, super atmospheric pressures or sub atmosphericpressures. The preferred mole ratio of ketone having the structure:##STR56## to organometallic compound, that is, alkyl lithium or alkylmagnesium halide is preferably 1:1 and if any material is used inexcess, it is the ketone having the structure: ##STR57##

The hydrolysis of the organometallic compound thus formed, having thestructure: ##STR58## is carried out in dilute aqueous mineral acid suchas aqueous sulfuric acid at concentrations of 0.05 molar up to about 1molar or aqueous hydrochloric acid or aqueous phosphoric acid. Thetemperature of hydrolysis may vary from 0° C. up to about 50° C. withambient temperatures being most convenient and preferred.

The reaction of the phosphorous pentasulfide with the alcohol having thestructure: ##STR59## may be carried out at temperatures of from 0° C. upto 50° C., again with ambient temperatures being preferred. Thisreaction also takes place in the presence of solvent which is inert tothe reaction ingredients, such as benzene, toluene or xylene.

The reaction to form the ethers, esters, thio ethers and thio esters byreacting the corresponding alcohol having the structure: ##STR60## orthe corresponding thiol having the structure: ##STR61## wherein R₃ ishydrogen may be carried out with standard etherifying or esterificationreagents such as acetyl chloride, acetyl bromide, n-propenyl chloride,n-propenyl bromide, acetic anhydride, acetic-propionic anhydride, andn-butyric anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst such as sulfuricacid (in the case of the esterification) and methyl iodide, ethyliodide, and propyl iodide (in the case of the etherification) attemperatures of between 0° C. and 50° C. also in the presence of asolvent. In producing the ethers, it is preferable to first react thealcohol or thiol with sodium hydride thereby forming the sodium salt andthen reacting the resulting sodium salt with methyl iodide, ethyl iodideor the like via a "Williamson" synthesis. In the alternative, the ethersmay be formed by reaction with alcohol dialkyl sulfates such as dimethylsulfate or diethyl sulfate.

The individual branched chain tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters, thiol,thio ethers and thio esters of our invention can be obtained in purerform or in substantially pure form by conventional purificationtechniques. Thus, the products can be purified and/or acylated bydistillation, extraction, crystallization, preparative chromatographictechniques and the like. It has been found desirable to purity thebranched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters, thiols,thio ethers and thio esters of our invention by fractional distillationunder vacuum.

It will be appreciated from the present disclosure that the branchedchain tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters, thiol, thiol ethers and thioesters and mixtures thereof according to the present invention can beused to alter, vary, fortify, modify, enhance or otherwise improve theflavor of a wide variety of materials which are ingested, consumed orotherwise organoleptically sensed.

The term "alter" in its various forms will be understood herein to meanthe supplying or imparting of a flavor character or note to an otherwisebland, relatively tasteless substance, or augmenting an existing flavorcharacteristic where the natural flavor is deficient in some regard orsupplementing the existing flavor impression to modify the organolepticcharacter.

Such compounds are accordingly useful in flavoring compositions. Aflavoring composition is taken to mean one which contributes a part ofthe overall flavor impression by supplementing or fortifying a naturalor artificial flavor in a material or one which supplies substantiallyall the flavor and/or aroma character to a consumable article.

The term "enhance" is intended herein to mean the intensification of aparticular aroma or taste nuance without changing the quality or natureof said nuance and without adding an additional aroma or taste nuance tothe consumable material, the organoleptic properties of which areenhanced.

The term "foodstuff" as used herein includes both solid and liquidingestible materials for man or animals, which materials usually do, butneed not, have nutritional value. Thus, foodstuffs includes meats,gravies, soups, convenience foods, malt, alcoholic and other beverages,milk and dairy products, seafoods including fish, crustaceans, mollusks,and the like, candies, vegetables, cereals, soft drinks, snacks, dog andcat food, other veterinary products, and the like.

The branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters,thiols, thio esters and thio ethers of our invention are useful tobaccoflavorants and flavor enhancers.

The term "tobacco" will be understood herein to mean natural productssuch as, for example, burley, Turkish tobacco, Maryland tobacco,flue-cured tobacco and the like including tobacco-like or tobacco-basedproducts such as reconstituted or homogenized leaf and the like, as wellas tobacco substitutes intended to replace natural tobacco, such aslettuce and cabbage leaves and the like. The tobaccos and tobaccoproducts in which the branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols,ethers, esters, tiols, thio esters and thio ethers of our invention areuseful include those designed or used for smoking such as in cigarette,cigar and pipe tobacco, as well as products such as snuff, chewingtobacco and the like.

When the branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters,thiols, thio esters and thio ethers of our invention are used in aflavoring composition, they can be combined with conventional flavoringmaterials or adjuvants. Such co-ingredients or flavoring adjuvants arewell known in the art for such use and have been extensively describedin the literature. Apart from the requirement that any such adjuvantmaterial be ingestibly acceptable, and thus non-toxic or otherwisenon-deleterious, conventional materials can be used and broadly includeother flavor materials, vehicles, stabilizers, thickenbers, surfaceactive agents, conditioners, and flavor intensifiers.

Such conventional flavoring materials include saturated fatty acids,unsaturated fatty acids and amino acids; alcohols, including primary andsecondary alcohols; esters; carbonyl compounds including ketones andaldehydes; lactones; other cyclic organic materials including benzenederivatives, alicyclic compounds, heterocyclics such as furans,pyrazines and the like; sulfur-containing materials including thiols,sulfides, disulfides and the like; proteins, lipids, carbohydrates;so-called flavor potentiators such as monosodium glutamate, guanylatesand inosinates; natural flavoring materials such as cocoa, vanilla andcaramel; essential oils and extracts such as anise oil; clove oil; andthe like; and artificial flavoring materials such as vanillin; and thelike.

Specific flavor adjuvants are as follows:

Ethyl-2-methyl butyrate;

Vanillin;

Butyl valerate;

2,3-Diethyl pyrazine;

Methyl cyclopentenolone;

Benzaldehydel;

Valerian Oil Indian; and

Propylene glycol.

The branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters,thiols, thio esters and thio ethers of our invention can be used tocontribute warm, patchouli-like, earthy, woody and camphoraceous aromas.As olfactory agents the branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols,ethers, esters, thiols, thio esters and thio ethers of this inventioncan be formulated into or used as components of a "perfume composition".

The term "perfume composition" is used herein to mean a mixture oforganic compounds, including, for example, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones,nitriles, esters, and frequently hydrocarbons which are admixed so thatthe combined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant ordesired fragrance. Such perfume compositions usually contain: (a) themain note of the "bouquet" or foundation-stone of the composition; (b)modifiers which round off and accompany the main note; (c) fixativeswhich include odorous substances which lend a particular note to theperfume throughout all stages of evaporation, and substances whichretard evaporation; and (d) topnotes which are usually low-boilingfresh-smelling materials.

In perfume compositions, the individual component will contribute itsparticular olfactory characteristics but the overall effect of theperfume composition will be the sum of the effect of each ingredient.Thus, the individual compounds of this invention, or mixtures thereof,can be used to alter the aroma characteristics of a perfume composition,for example, by highlighting or moderating the olfactory reactioncontributed by another ingredient in the composition.

The amount of branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers,esters, thiols, thio esters and thio ethers of this invention which willbe effective in perfume compositions depends on many factors, includingthe other ingredients, their amounts and the effects which are desired.It has been found that perfume compositions containing as little as0.05% and as much as 5% of the branched chain unsaturated tertiaryalcohols, ethers, esters, thiols, thio ethers and thio esters of thisinvention can be used to impart, augment or enhance warm, intense,amber, woody, fruity, floral, orris-like and camphoraceous aromaprofiles with patchouli undertones to soaps, cosmetics, solid or liquidanionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic detergents and otherproducts. The amount employed can range up to 50% of the fragrance andcan be as low as 1% of the original fragrance and will depend onconsiderations of cost, nature of the end product, the effect desired inthe finished product and the particular fragrance sought.

The branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters,thiols, thio esters and thio ethers of this invention can be used aloneor in a perfume composition as an olfactory component in detergents, andsoaps, space odorants and deodorants, perfumes, colognes, toilet waters,bath salts, hair preparations such as lacquers, brilliantines, pomades,and shampoos, cosmetic preparations such as creams, deodorants, handlotions and sun screens, powders such as talcs, dusting powders, facepowder, and the like. When used in an olfactory component of a perfumedarticle, as little as 0.05% of one or more of the branched chainunsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters, thiols, thio esters andthio ethers will suffice to impart warm patchouli aroma with earthy,woody and camphoraceous notes. Generally no more than 5.0% is required.

In addition, the perfume composition can contain a vehicle or carrierfor the branched chain unsaturated tertiary alcohols, ethers, esters,thiols, thio esters and thio ethers alone or with other ingredients. Thevehicle can be a liquid such as an alcohol such as ethanol, a glycolsuch as propylene glycol, or the like. The carrier can be an absorbentsolid such as a gum or components for encapsulating the composition.

To 50% of the cigarettes, 10 and 20 ppm of the branched chainunsaturated tertiary alcohol prepared according to Example XI (bulkeddistillation fractions 2-6) are added. These cigarettes are hereinaftercalled "experimental" cigarettes and the cigarettes without the saidtertiary alcohol are hereinafter called "control" cigarettes. Thecontrol and experimental cigarettes are then evaluated by pairedcomparison and the results are as follows:

a. In aroma, the experimental cigarettes are found to be more aromaticand more black tobacco-like.

b. In smoke flavor, the experimental cigarettes are found to be morearomatic, more sweet, more bitter, richer, "cigar box-like" and slightlyless harsh in the mouth and more cigarette tobacco-like than the controlcigarettes . . . and they all have "black tobacco" nuances.

The experimental cigarettes containing 20 ppm of the said tertiaryalcohol produced according to Example XI (bulked distillation fractions2-6) are found to be woody, slightly chemical and mouth-coating in thesmoke flavor.

All cigarettes, both experimental and control are evaluated for smokeflavor with 20 mm cellulose acetate filters. The tertiary alcoholprepared to Example XI is very similar to to the tertiary alcoholprepared according to Example XII (bulked distillation fractions 4-8)and Example X (bulked distillation fractions 2-6) and each of thesematerials enhance the tobacco-like taste of the blended cigarette onsmoking in both the main stream and the side stream.
